Grocery Outlet

I shopped in your store yesterday and felt that sudden urge. I had heard that the bathrooms were locked so asked a clerk if I needed a key. He said that I needed to notify a clerk and they would send someone to the bathroom to open it for me. I said,” Well notify someone, I am on my way there.” I was wheeling my cart back there when I heard the loudspeaker announce that a customer was enroute to the bathroom. As I approached, a young lady was there with a key. What wonderful service. I understand there are reasons to keep it locked. I don’t shop there a lot as I live closer to Lakeport. But I appreciate there are employees and owners at Clearlake Grocery Outlet that have created a system that works. P. S. I’m an old nurse. I talk about these kind of things.

Love it. I shop at several Grocery Outlets, and I really like the one in Clearlake. I’ve gotten furniture there, small appliances, and they have a decent selection of organic shelf items, all at excellent prices. But it’s like TJ’s — you have to get something when you see it, otherwise it might never appear again. One thing I would like to see more of in Clearlake is organic produce. Other GOs have a better selection.

I am such a cork dork that wine is about all I ever think about or talk about — it’s a good thing it’s what I do for a living!
Wine pal of mine told me to go to Grocery Outlet and check out some of the amazing buys for «house wines». I resisted, as I couldn’t imagine spending less than $ 15 or $ 20 for a daily drinker.
Today I drug myself to Clearlake’s Grocery Outlet because I needed to go to Safeway for something. I was taken aback at the handful of incredible wine values there. I had my phone with me and checked on vintages and facts on a few of the wines to make sure the wines were actually what they appeared to be (I’ve been in the wine biz for over 25 years so know to be careful for fraud) and they were!
Of course there was a lot of swill there too, but for someone wine savvy there are real bargains (for daily drinkers — I didn’t see anything fancy or special, but wasn’t expecting to).
The staff was VERY helpful. I asked a young man it the store had any empty case boxes and he volunteered to fetch me some. He was very friendly and when I thanked him he said; You’re welcome (instead of No Problem). The checker was charming and helpful as was another checker who came over and pointed out that if I waited a day I could buy the wines at a deeper discount.
The store was clean, as was the parking lot. Clear lake is slowly improving and this Grocery Outlet is a nice addition that I will revisit.

I love shopping at Grocery Outlet. Prices are low and the inventory is constantly changing. You never know what you will find.
This Grocery Outlet has a great selection of meats, and cheeses. It’s the cheapest place to purchase mayo, bacon and lunch meats. They normally stock whole Foster Farm’s chickens for the same price as Safeway’s sales price.
The cashiers are friendly.
If you have extra time to shop at two grocery stores, it’s worth shopping at Grocery Outlet first, then get whatever they didn’t have at another grocery store.
The only downside is this store doesn’t accept American Express.

This can be a great store with great prices…
However it is poorly managed — many items are missing prices or miss-​priced.
Staff is not very helpful.
A lot of foods are expired or even moldy/​rotten.
Produce can be fly ridden.
I still shop there to sift through the prices to find good deals.
